Introduction

Munis On Line PO Receiving & Invoice Approval is a key part of a larger plan to implement new Accounts Payable &

Audit workflows that includes:

1. The Central Receipt of all vendor invoices. All vendors will be required to submit properly formatted pdf invoices

via email to a new SharePoint email account maintained by the A/P department. This will allow the A/P

department to control the A/P process from the start and effectively manage the invoice approval process.

Benefits include; immediate knowledge of all outstanding District invoices, eliminate scanning of invoices and

the ability to identify all outstanding invoice approvals by PO issuer/approver.

2. Utilize the Munis PO Receiving module to create an all-digital workflow for recording the Receipt of Hard Goods

& Invoice Approval. This will eliminate paper flow between departments/schools and A/P office and greatly

improve invoice approval times.

3. The entry of all Invoices into Munis within 30 days from vendor invoice date. This will result in faster payment

times, a decrease in vendor shut offs and greater use of early pay discounts.

4. On line access to historical documents required for future audits.

New Procedures for Receipt of Hard Goods & Invoice Approval – The Munis PO Receiving module will be used 1) to

record the quantities of hard goods received at all school and other locations 2) to approve all invoices for payment and

3) scan and attach any back up documentation required by the Audit Department. These new procedures replace the

current method of sending signed PO’s, vendor invoices and back up documentation to the Accounts Payable/Audit

Department.

Responsibility for Munis Data Entry - While the Munis data entry for invoice approvals will be done by

assigned staff it is the responsibility of the PO originator and/or Department Head to review all invoices to

assure the District is being properly charged for services performed.

At the School Locations – The School Clerks will act as the Central Receiver and be responsible for entering the

receipt of all hard goods into Munis on a timely basis. The Engineers, custodians and others at the school will continue to

physically check hard goods delivered against packing slips and will provide the checked and signed packing slips to the

School Clerks on a timely basis for Munis entry.

Deliveries from the Service Centers Central Inventory – DO NOT have to be logged into Munis PO Receiving at the

school or department level.

Non Pub’s & Charter Schools – These new procedures DO NOT apply to Non Pubs and Charters. The Non Pub’s &

Charters will continue to use current procedures to record the receipt of hard goods and approve invoices for payment.

The new procedures will be implemented at a later date at all Non Pub’s & Charters.

Important for Invoice Approvals on Contracts/Blanket PO’s: a. Create detailed, clear and thorough Requisitions especially for multi-line split funded items.

b. Carefully review all invoices before approving. Only approve invoices for work that is completed.

c. Work with your vendors to comply with the new invoice requirements.

d. Attach all documents required by Audit to the Munis PO Receiving record. This includes any deliverables

or final reports submitted by contract vendors/consultants and time sheets or other records of

attendance at PD or after school sessions.

e. Use the NOTES SECTION of Munis PO Receiving to explain partial invoices and split funds.

Department Head or assigned staff to review and approve for payment in Munis PO Receiving.

Assume a Blanket PO or Contract with 1 line item and 1 fund line. The vendor sends partial invoices as work is

completed throughout the year. It is the responsibility of the department head or assigned staff to review the

invoice and access Munis PO Receiving to approve the invoice for payment.

Invoice Approval - Multi Line PO’s with 1 Fund Line

NOTE - For some consultant contracts it will be required to create a multi-line Requisition

listing each of the services that the consultant is supposed to complete. These services should

be listed in the scope of services within the Contract and the vendor invoice should itemize

the charges by the line items on the Requisition/PO.

In these situations you would approve the invoices in Munis just like PO Receiving for Hard Goods (pages 10-

31) with the exception of completing the NOTES Section differently and instead of attaching packing slips you

would attach time sheets, final reports from the consultant etc…..

Follow the exact same steps as you begin any other Approval:
